Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Isolated Power Supply for Digital Panel Meters -- September 13, 2008
    Many inexpensive digital panel meters, such as the one shown below, are designed to operate from a 9v battery.  However, the nature of the panel meter internal design often requires that the DC supply used to power the device be isolated from the ground terminal of the panel meter’s input.  This often makes it difficult to use with a common connection between a DC power supply ground and a sensor’s circuit ground.  But, you can generate this floating voltage fairly easily using the simple circuit below.
  • Ten Turn Pot Forms Frequency Readout
    Let’s say you are designing a signal generator for a test fixture. To adjust the frequency you would like to use a ten turn pot with a nice dial mechanism attached as a frequency display. However, a display range of 0 to 9.99 would be impractical since there is no such frequency as 0. But since many pot dials have a display....

Scheme Provides High Side Current Sensing for White LED Drivers:  02/19/04 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  White LEDs find wide use in backlighting color-LCD screens in most portable devices, such as cellular phones, PDAs, and MP3 players. Multiple LEDs often connect in series to ensure that the same current flows through every LED. To forward-bias these LEDs, a voltage of 10 to 16V comes from an inductor-based boost regulator, such as an SP6690....

Seven Segment LCD uses Two Wire Interface:  09/04/03 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  You can connect seven-segment LCDs using only a two-wire interface (Figure 1). The two-wire interface may be at the field-effect, direct-drive LCD or at a serial interface (such as I2C) that uses an eight-pin microcontroller. The design in Figure 1 uses an Atmel (www.atmel.com) ATtiny12 microcontroller, IC1....

Signal Processor Adds LED Display:  06/06/96 EDN Design Ideas  / (added 6/06)  Designers using the Texas Instruments TSS400, a versatile 4-bit sensor-signal processor, may find the circuit in Figure 1 useful as a replacement for, or an adjunct to, the IC's built-in display capabilities.

Simple Active Matrix LCD Bias Supply Operates from Battery Input:  02/03/00 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 11/05)  Many active-matrix-LCD applications need multiple voltages for thin-film-transistor (TFT) bias. Typically, three voltages are necessary: 5V for the column driver; a positive voltage, such as 10V; and a negative voltage, such -5V, for the TFT gate drive, or row driver. For handheld electronic devices, a battery....

MEN and SBS-Greenspring (now called SBS Technologies) developed the format as a smaller alternative to PMC modules and lets you put six PCI-based modules on any CompactPCI, PCI, or VME motherboards. Motorola sponsors the format, and about 20 companies now support it. PC-MIP uses an unaltered PCI bus and the same connectors as PMC but in a layout measuring 47X90 mm....
